I...Thank you for stating that it IS, in fact hard. I get the point of the author&#39;s statement and yes there are things that are more difficult. But life is hard too and sometimes food is something that makes it better. I don&#39;t want to take a walk when I&#39;m mad or frustrated or ____________; sometimes I just want something yummy to eat. The best part about this is the way you feel when you eat this way. And thankfully that pull is enough to keep me from going too far off the road! I&#39;ve done three whole30&#39;s and have been eating mostly this way for about 16 months. It&#39;s great!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109884936146103030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378581335339160523.post-23071948433422717902016-02-01T20:34:41.594-08:002016-02-01T20:34:41.594-08:00I started my 1st Whole30 today.

I started to see and feel noticeable difference midway through my second 30 day challenge (took a fun 4 day break in between then back on the horse). It takes time. I&#39;m on my third whole 30 now, finishing Wednesday, then taking a fun break for 5 or so days and gonna try a Whole40 for the 40 days of Lent.

I do NOT have energy and have not for most of the last 26 days! I don&#39;t feel a lot differently/better because I felt OK eating things that are not good for us! I also hoped to lose weight. I know that it isn&#39;t the purpose, but many people had experienced it. I DID lose 8.5 pounds. I should be satisfied, but I was rigid, so thought I would lose a little more! I am pretty down about all of this.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325538727336321309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378581335339160523.post-29502288370308580052016-02-01T13:53:45.365-08:002016-02-01T13:53:45.365-08:00I am just on day 17 and already seeing multiple be...I am just on day 17 and already seeing multiple benefits. I enjoyed your reflections and look forward to more advice and recipes. I defintely think there are a lot of things about whole30 that will now become a permanent part of my life. africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378581335339160523.post-43307679167569520602016-02-01T11:56:23.857-08:002016-02-01T11:56:23.857-08:00I&#39;m in the middle of my second Whole 30 and I ...I&#39;m in the middle of my second Whole 30 and I did something yesterday that I never thought I could do. I baked cookies for my kids and I didn&#39;t eat any batter or cookies. AND I actually enjoyed the process! I focused on making each cookie little neater than I usually do and I concentrated on baking them just right. And in the end, I was so happy that I baked a beautiful batch of cookies and accomplished something I never thought I could do!Mary Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533724131613487824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378581335339160523.post-38444558764762982102016-02-01T08:22:41.957-08:002016-02-01T08:22:41.957-08:00This is awesome!

All food sounds amazing today (because I can&#39;t have most of it) and I&#39;m freaking out that I can&#39;t eat it for a whole month! Thank you for the inspiration! This makes me want to finish even more!<br /><br />P.S. I&#39;ll take any advice and recipes you want to give!Jamie Warkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564628888317340888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378581335339160523.post-50234113962564986372016-02-01T05:11:43.568-08:002016-02-01T05:11:43.568-08:00Yes, brownies will always be there!

I am ALL ABOUT goals this year. I think it...Oh man. I am ALL ABOUT goals this year. I think it&#39;s because I&#39;m at a somewhat settled stage of life right now with my kids old enough (and sleeping well enough) to leave me a little time/energy for personal development. I&#39;ve been thinking about my goals all month and I&#39;ve settled on a plan. I&#39;m going to have just a couple year-long goals and then each month have a couple shorter-term goals, something I&#39;ll focus on for one month. Because like you said, I can do anything if it&#39;s just for 30 days, right? And if it sticks, I&#39;ll keep at it and add on something else the next month. One of my year-long goals is gratitude. I&#39;ll be writing in a gratitude journal every day and sending hand-written thank you cards every month and cultivating an attitude of gratitude in everything I do. It&#39;s been transformative so far. Can&#39;t wait to see what 2016 brings!Megan Ondricekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125203478313634941noreply@blogger.com
